📋 Tender Overview
Description:The Emeryville Loop project will provide safe, low-stress biking and walking routes to work and shopping destinations in
central Emeryville and install new designated transit lanes. The project closes a major gap in the City’s existing active
transportation network by providing a new pedestrian connection on Powell Street between Christie Avenue and
Shellmound Street. Today, wide multilane arterial roadways that funnel high traffic volumes on and off I-80 pose barriers to
people biking, walking, and rolling in the project area.
This project will create separation between moving car traffic and people using active modes along high-stress arterials
(Powell Street, Christie Avenue, Shellmound Street) and provide intersection improvements to make the arterial crossings
safer and more comfortable. The project includes construction of new two-way Class IV separated bikeway facilities on
high-stress arterial roadways, construction of new sidewalk to close a gap in the existing walking network, widened
sidewalk, the installation of protected intersections at (4) major four to six lane arterial intersections, one new midblock
crossing, and dedicated transit lanes. These countermeasures will create a safer, low-stress environment for people biking,
walking, and rolling
